Zero Visibility

Settling in here for the long haul
Can't hide forever's what they say
In like the wind, out with a bang
Meanwhile nothing has changed

With each word slowly uttered
A storm brews in her eyes
A missed shot at the buzzer
Time whether wasted or well-spent is still time

We are not brave
We are not wise
We stand at the end of the longest lines
But we stand here all together
We have been damned
But we have survived
We came back to homes we don't recognize
But we returned here all together

Moments of clarity here are short-lived
Bled through the bandages again
And when is a lie no longer white
But black as a day without sun

Passed out in a gutter
Woke up in your arms
Nursed back and recovered
The same touch that heals me
Left a scar

We are not brave
We are not wise
We stand at the end of the longest lines
But we stand here all together
We have been damned
But we have survived
We came back to homes we don't recognize
But we returned here all together

And the world works in ways that I never
Have claimed to know
We got out in front of the weather
But it followed
And view from here isn't better
But it's all we know
It's all we know

We are not brave
We are not wise
We stand at the edge of the border lines
But we stand here all together
We have been damned
But we have survived
And who we've become you won't recognize
But we became them, all together
All together
